k then the hotside makes sense but i still dont get the coldside. was the piping too large to run into the tb hose? and how are you holding that coupler onto the tb hose, a pipe inside?

Yeah the TB hose is 2.25 and he is running 2.5 pipe there so it wouldn't fit in the hole ("Thats what she said!" Sorry I just watched The Office LOL) so we cut a piece of 2.225 and put it inside the TB hose to support the hose and then put a coupler on it and it holds really well now.

Brian, the piping wasn't correct for us to run that 2.5" 90* bend directly to the TB inlet, and so we had to optimize a little bit. I'm going today (if I fix this ******* oil problem) to the muffler shop and having them custom fabricate me a 2.5" alum. piece that is welded onto the alum. piping that attaches to that hose.

Of course not. The JB welding will hold up fine. We did it properly too; that **** is never coming off.

BTW nate, thanks a lot for your help. It made sense when I looked at it and saw what we had to do.



Brian, look at that pipe. It's too short to get all up in the TB inlet.

I knew you would get it when you saw it. Plus Josh would of smacked you until you got it also

JB weld is more than strong enough to hold it, just not pretty to look at
